I'm not going to say any more to see if you know what I'm talking about.

Oh okay will - old wide-ish rectangular box computer case, plastic. Top of case lifts up, no screws. Twin floppy drives on front, no name badge, but on side is a stuck on plastic picture of a fox head.

Turn on and it just says at top "FOX-2001" and tries to boot from a floppy.

On back, RS-232, cga, RCA video, cassette in & out. Nothing but hole for where DIN keyboard port might have been, but don't think anything on the board for it either.

I don't know anything about it but going by the web link it's a smaller and different shaped board from your carbon-copy clone (which has EXACTLY the same layout as an Apple II+). I have several of the latter.

Looks like it's squeezed into a generic PC/XT case, yes? How about some pics of your unit?

CGA? Are you sure? Does this mean it can connect to a PC CGA/EGA monitor?

Here's some pics courtesy of my Nokia N95 (bit of a waste, only ever used it for a camera) :

Not sure if the port is CGA, but on the back there's a DB9 Male on the left side and DB9 Female on right side. Maybe the label on the side isn't original either.

Looks like on the board there hasn't been a keyboard and there are only the connectors for the "Numeric Keypad" (but no attached ribbon) just above where the Keyboard connector would have been. Would seem like a waste of an Apple if it didn't have a keyboard though. The serial port is cabled to the board, that's why I thought maybe that was for the keyboard.

Looks like no info on the net other than the link I trudged up, but still, another piece of almost forgotten history saved from scrap.

Hey fantastic effort for rescuing that peice of nostalgia! - Looking at those pics you put up reminds me of Old Faithfull - the first XT i got up and running.Looking at the keyboard pic on the other website, it looks fairly simmilar to some i have in the collection i have as spares for the XT's - as this machine looks like it was built using off the shelf components, they may have somehow mannaged to couple up an XT keyboard but changed the plug as a form of vendor lock-in etc - just a thought. - Nice Pics too!
